“We love death. The US loves life. That is the difference between us two.” Osama Bin Laden

Multiculturalism is the lie that all cultures are equal. Or maybe some believe they just should be treated equally. Regardless, to embrace the lie that cultures that celebrate death are equal to cultures that celebrate life is to reject objective truth. The folly of this is that no matter how irrational a culture might be, very few if any people from a non-western culture would offer the same deference. To believe in multiculuralism literally is to reject any notion of good and evil or right and wrong, because nearly everything that anyone regards as immoral or wrong is permissable in one culture or another. Check out my blog on the Kombai tribe for a few examples:

So, logically speaking (I understand it’s asking a lot for most people who try to push multiculturalism to think logically) multiculturalism is nihilism. It is not merely nihilistic, it is nihilism at its very core.

Now come the concessions. Yes, there is some value in cultural customs from across the world, and we can learn things from other cultures. But there are objective concepts such as right and wrong, good and evil. And the cultures that identify and emphasize those are the most productive and advanced for a reason. To reject the moral superiority of western cultures (though they are far from perfect) is to reject civilization and modernity as we know it. Finally, we must separate the individuals from their culture. To say that one civilization’s culture is better than another’s is not to degrade the individuals in an inferior culture, nor does it somehow make them less human. But this should be self evident.
